One of the great advantages of Hyperbaric Oxygen,
is the low number of contraindications, risks and side effects.
​
“This is one of the lowest risk procedures in all of medicine,” 
says Paul Harch, M.D., a leading hyperbaric medicine expert, about Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.

I am Claustrophobic... Can I do a session?
​Many people feel they could not do HBOT because they are claustrophobic but find they do great in our chamber because it is so spacious and comfortable. The main reason they don't feel claustrophobic is because they are breathing 91% concentrated oxygen and using our Low Level Light Therapy during the HBOT session. Both of which place you in the parasympathetic nervous mode of relaxation. Many people go right to sleep. Those who feel energized by the HBOT can easily watch something on their IPAD or Phone. 

I have Mobility Issues... Can I get in and out of the chamber?
​Can you get in and out of a bathtub or in and out of your bed without help? If not, then bring someone to help you. We can not lift you. If you have mobility issues, call us to discuss before scheduling your session. So many people have found the M-HBOT has greatly improved their mobility and it might be worth it for you to ask or hire someone to come with you to help you get in and out of the chamber. 

I Smoke Tobacco... Can I get in your chamber?
If you smoke or smell of any smoke including cannabis, cigar or wood smoke,
you will not be able to get into our chamber.
Please refrain from smoking for 3 days prior your HBOT session.
We also ask you not to wear any scents or fragrances or cologne to your appointments.
